NEWBURGH, Ind. - As part of the 2014 NCAA Division II Elite Eight week activities in Evansville Ind., the Southern Connecticut State University men's basketball team visited the nearby Deaconess Gateway Children's Hospital on Tuesday, March 25.
The players interacted with children and signed autographs.
This program is just one example of many community outreach events that So. Connecticut student-athletes will take part in as part of the Tim Greer Insurance Agency Community Service Cup.
Initiated in September 2008, the 'Community Service Cup' program provides a competitive format that allows student-athletes to gain an enriched experience through engagement with the on-campus and local communities by supporting ventures of traditional citizens, campus community members and peer students and student-athletes. So. Connecticut student-athletes volunteered more than 3,000 hours of their time to numerous outreach efforts, both on-campus and in Greater New Haven, during the 2012-13 academic year.
